I have had considerable success in getting ser working under selinux particularly as I am new to linux having just recently moved over from working in a windows environment. However I have had a lot of problems trying to resolve a permissions problem that is resulting in serweb kicking out the error.

 

 

FIFO not running or bad path to it

 

 

I have tried all the usual stuff such as including the lines I have  also turned off selinux.

 

fifo="/tmp/ser_fifo"

 

 

fifo_mode=0777

 

or

 

sock_mode=0666

 

 

I now believe that this may be something to do with context, is there anybody that has experienced this problem. Below is the error I am getting  using dmseg, it increments each time I refresh the admin page.

 

audit(1134382735.156:78): avc:  denied  { getattr } for  pid=2682 comm="httpd" name="ser_fifo" dev=sda2 ino=1887848 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=root:object_r:tmp_t tclass=fifo_file

 

 

Below are the permissions on the ser_fifo and its context.

 

/dev/

 

brw-rw----           root     disk     system_u:object_r:fixed_disk_device_t sda1

brw-rw-rw-          root     disk     system_u:object_r:fixed_disk_device_t sda2

brw-rw----           root     disk     system_u:object_r:fixed_disk_device_t sda3

 

 

/tmp/

 

-rw-------              root     root     root:object_r:tmp_t              php-install.GQ3113

prwxrwxrwx        root     root     root:object_r:tmp_t              ser_fifo

prw-rw-rw-           root     root     root:object_r:tmp_t              ser_receiver_3011

 

Any help would be very much appreciated.
